hey Paul,

Any chance you are going to offer an "expert built" T4 2014 kit for those of us who are truly lazy or in a time crunch?

What 1/12 tire would you chose for low-med grip carpet? What about high grip carpet? Same tires, different doping? Different tires? Sizes?

Thanks,

I would probably use soft/soft for Eclipse and med/soft up by us.

Hi Troy, Initially i wanted to do a "Expert Built" car but i decided not to because of time and cost.
Attached at the bottom of the post are the instructions that i print to come with my rear tires, Hope it helps!

Hi Paul.
I have some questions about tire.
Will you switch the tire's position if you participate in a control tire race. For example, everyone can only have two sets of tires, will you switch FL FR RL RR tire every round? And how do you switch?
Thank you.

I would just like to thank Paul and Gravity RC for taking the chance of stocking the new USGT spec tire for 2014! I am sure that it is a good business decision. I try to support any " racer owned " small business when I can, as most onroad racers do.

Paul I read where u answered a question about setups for different tires .
Might be looking to go to cleavland and they run sweep and I have never ran a sweep tire . how would u compare the sweep tires to the jaco tire?
What changes do u normally see if u were to swap between tires

Hi, On carpet i will never change the tires position. On asphalt normally not but it is so circumstantial, Hypothetically if at a race i was allowed 4 sets I would make a set at the end with all 4 of the one run LR's if the track was run counterclockwise. So their is nothing set in stone, but rotating 1 set of tires the standard way i do not ever do.

Hi, Normally i feel like the sweeps have a bit more grip. Honestly I would not change anything going in to the race, I would show up with the car as you know it good for Jacos and tune it as you would anyways at the race. The different track will make a bigger difference in handling of the car than the different tire will.

Good Luck!
